Slicin' and Dicin'

[akboom87]

Squats
5 x 145, 185
3 x 220

5 x 235, 275
5 x 310
1 x 310

BBB - A2G
5 x 10 x 185

Accessories
(Skipped. Gassed and short of time)

Notes
I was sorta mad at myself for racking it instead of taking bonus reps so I forced one more that I absolutely buried. The weight itself even at 5+ was very manageable, but I did feel winded. I would benefit from fitting some real cardio in somewhere I think, so I stuck with 5x10 BBB on squats vs the BBS 10x5. It's like 5 mini WODs

Been trying to get a hair deeper when I think about it so I really buried BBB. I have thought, without seeing myself, that some of my higher weight reps lately have been shallow. When my buddy lifts with me he says no, but I just want to know I'm hitting depth. I'm getting nice adductor engagement a bit deeper too which actually feels good.

World series watch party tonight at the tacoma stadium (food). Rest day tomorrow. Might throw down a 20:4 tomorrow to balance tonight's probably indulging.

Great squats! Is it a possibility to wave in another variation on the BBB work? So if you feel like you’re getting shallow on the higher weights, wonder if incorporating some box squats would be worth while.

This is a good session with the remaining ATG squats. As you saw in my log, my issue with squats was depth initially. So I am also consciously thinking about ensuring I go below my comfortable depth to ensure I don't make that same mistake again.

This is where additional leg soreness will likely pile up vs your more traditional parallel squat, even with lighter weight. I already feel it this AM from my latest session!

Great squats!

first thing my brain did:

Yeah this was about a 75 minute session for me so it clear my rest periods in between sets were longer than usual, but if I had 90 minutes to spare, I probably could have pounded out adductor, extensions, and maybe something else in that last 15 mintues combined. but the work I did do, had me sweating soup!

I don't have any current plans to compete in the future, but I like to know what I'm doing is competition worthy. When I was doing Oly I became so flexible I was squatting crazy deep, I went from probably having never had a legal squat, to now my A2G was just silly. I'm back in the middle now. 90% its good, just one of those things. Every week I probably over analyze an aspect of my lifts to improve on. All 4 of them, tbh.

I think I'm starting to like squats. I found myself thinking about them in bed last night. I definitely like week 2 and 3, where I can focus on moving just singles and triples very well. having to mentally prepare for a 12 rep PR or something is a different story altogether, though.

 

[MrKleen73]

Yeah, a HARD set of 12 is gutwrenching work. If you aren't gasping for air after a set of 12 squats you weren't working hard. OR you have AMAZING conditioning.

 

[Dustin07]

its clear I have not exercised much nutritional discipline, well at least not in terms of deficits, in a while. Our meal prep has been the same consistent formula I always do but by 9am today my stomach was growling to let me know how pissed it was that breakfast hadn't arrived yet, lol.

 

[MrKleen73]

Yeah, those darn circadian rythms. They get you once you get used to eating at a certain time.
